What To Expect

During a 3-hour trip you can get not only a short introduction to kayaking, we will also show you some highlights of the city and its surrounding nature. At our base in the sheltered Sjølyst Marina you will receive the equipment best suited to you and we will take you through safety instructions and basic techniques before we head out on the water of the Oslofjord. From here it is only a short way to small islands and nice sandy beaches. The guides will share information on sights like the picturesque marina with its house boats and other special vessels, the modern architecture on Fornebu and the beaches along the coast of the peninsula Bygdøy. Kayak experience is not necessary, we adapt our tours to our guests. We use single and double kayaks and will provide you with the boat that fits you and your abilities best.

  • Great way to get out on water!

    We loved this experience. It was so wonderful to get out on the water in Oslo. We are both experienced kayakers but this would have been easy for beginners as well. It was an easy pace, with lots of time to enjoy the scenery. The only reason that I did not give this 5 stars is that our host did not pay attention to our Viator booking and it sounded like we would not have been able to participate if there had been more people there, despite having booked many months in advance. It would have been very disappointing to have travelled that far to be told we couldn’t go out. I had to prove that I had booked by sending copies of my booking to her. Otherwise, once it was determined that we would be allowed to participate, we enjoyed the experience immensely.

  • Five stars!

    Sven was an excellent guide. Judging the skills of our group and taking us on a route that was fun and beautiful. He shared lots of information about the birds, boats, buildings and history of the area as we paddled out into the Fjord.

  • Best Kayak Tour!

    We had the best time with our guide Sven! He took us out with 8 other individuals and we did get quite lucky with beautiful weather. Sven was quite informative, made sure everyone was comfortable and prepared and was an excellent guide. He did have to spend quite a bit of time helping a member of one of the other parties and wound up having to tow him for some of the tour, but that did not stop Sven from making sure everyone had a great time. Would highly recommend this tour for people who are active and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Oslo. A great time!

  • Fun but tiring ! Bring your energy
